"Opposing Legislators Push for Wike's Expulsion; Support Anyanwu's Dismissal"
Title: Opposition Lawmakers Applaud PDP for Removing Samuel Anyanwu, Appoint Acting Secretary
In a lively statement, Hon. Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, a prominent voices in Nigerian politics and a Representative for Ideato Federal Constituency, commended the Peoples Democratic Party's (PDP) National Working Committee (NWC) for booting out Senator Samuel Anyanwu as National Secretary and appointing Hon. Setonji Koshoedo in an acting capacity.
According to our source, Ugochinyere termed the decision as a "bold move," brought about the end of the "blatant imposition" of Anyanwu, despite a court ruling validating his removal. Ugochinyere also calls for the immediate expulsion of Nyesom Wike, the Federal Capital Territory Minister, and Anyanwu from the PDP.
Ugochinyere expressed his excitement over the decision, stating, "We are thrilled with the decision of the NWC to approve the nomination of Arch. Setonji Koshoedo as the new National Secretary, officially dismissing Anyanwu."
Koshoedo, who previously held the position of Deputy National Secretary, will serve in the role until the Southeast zone officially nominates Rt. Hon. Udo Okoye as the substantive National Secretary. Ugochinyere believes this move is essential for setting the PDP on a path to recovery.
Ugochinyere encouraged the NWC to adopt the recommendations of the Chief Tom Ikimi-led disciplinary committee, which reportedly proposed penalties for party members implicated in undermining the PDP. He urged the NWC to be courageous in implementing the Ikimi disciplinary report and expelling those who are intent on dismantling the party through greedy politics and land allocation schemes in Abuja.
Ugochinyere applauded the party's leadership for taking the initial steps towards restoring internal democracy, warning the PDP must sever ties with those he claims are trying to decimate it from within. He concluded by urging the NWC to act decisively to regain the trust of the Nigerian people, asserting that the age of Anyanwu and his accomplices, notably Nyesom Wike, must come to an end, and their expulsion is non-negotiable.
